As most of you already know, I'm a huge NFL football fan and an even bigger Philadelphia Eagles fan!! I've been making NFL teamed skins for our phones for quite some time now and would like to present you guys with a brand new set. This thread will be for my start menu selector skins. I'm starting off with a "fields" set for all 32 teams. Let me know what you guys think of them. Enjoy..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Hey tmessy, I also made ya a Chelsea FC Start Menu Selection skin to go with the rest of your chelsea skins. Like the rest of your request I used just the lion. Let me know what ya think of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ezzie:
Nicely done as always!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Thanks ezzie!! Yea you know me..if it's skinnable..I'll be there lol Do you have any special requests in mind for a start menu selector skin for your phone?

I was wondering where would you put a bootanimation sound. I put a sm2_opening.ogg file in /system/media/ where the zip goes but when i rebooted the sound it didnt play.:(

so am i using the right file, wrong location? or am i completely off any help will be appreciated.

Currently running the acer LiquidMetal rom
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
Normally the sound file would have to be called out from the desc.txt , which is located within the bootanimation.zip file.

The ogg or mp3 file would be placed in the /system/media/ but needs to be called out by the desc.txt.

This my not work with the Liquid rom but worth a shot. Bootanimation sounds dont work with gingerbread....at the moment.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@ wilnotdie. Thanks a lot for the quick response could you post an example of the code needed for the desc.txt I don't know how to code lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
No problem.

480 800 24
p 1 0 mrvl
s boot.mp3
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@wilnotdie thanks for all your help btw do I enter the above code in terminal or just include it in the desc.txt
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
In the desc.txt
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@wilnotdie got one more question for you champ should I rename the file to boot.mp3 or can I write the file name where it says boot.mp3 in the code or does it not matter. I should be good to implement it after this.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
Doesn't matter. You can name the sound file whatever, just add the same name in the desc.txt file.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
This way worked for me, but only once I flashed the stock/froyo rom.

There's another method which uses xml files instead of desc.txt file, but that way might only work for motorola phones...and it looks more complicated. Haven't done much research on that as the first option worked.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
Bootanimations with sound confirmed working on Liquid Metal
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xomikronx:
Trying to get it to work on GB....
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
Let me know if you need any testers. Would be nice to have this on gb.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Rickroller:
So is it only Liquid Metal that supports it? I'm running CM 6.1.1 and I was told that I couldn't do bootanimation sound..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@ wilnotdie ahhh i tried to do this myself and it didnt work for me i was hoping you could do it for me it would be really appreciated.

Also could you tell me what my error was the audio file is inside the part0 folder if you need it.

Man im mad happy you got this working i jus figured id give up lol. thanks again for all your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@xomikronx yea that would be really sweet if we could get this implemented on gb

I'm really glad a lot of people are getting use of this thread not to mention having boot sounds is cool as s**t especially if you have an animation that goes well with it
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
I'll take a look.... should be make it work.

Theres a few other special instruction needed. I'll post them soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
You are trying to flash this through recovery, right?

The file you posted looks like its for recovery.

You can try flashing it again, and see if it works. Most likely you will need a different bootanimation binary file. This binary file, unless im mistaken, tells the phone how to play the bootanimation.zip etc...

The one you currently have, doesn't know how to process sound during boot. You will need a one that does.

If your original zip doesn't work, give this one a try. I moved the ogg file to the media folder, and also added the bootanimation binary which handles sound.

****Before Flashing The attached Zip!****

Backup everything on your phone, either through Rom Manager or Recovery...than before flashing the zip, please back up your original bootanimation binary file.

To do this, you can either use root explorer, go to

/system/bin/

and rename the file bootanimation to bootanimation2 or something different.

or from terminal

mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /system/bin/bootanimation /sdcard/origbootanimationbinary
mount -o remount, ro /system
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
I'll flash cm6 and let you know.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@wilnotdie yea I was flashing it through recovery. Thanks for taking a look at it and making the changes ima go ahead and backup and then ill flash it ill post after I've done it and let you know how it goes.

I had no clue that the binary for that zip didn't know how to handle the sound like I said I don't know how to code so a lot of the stuff I see in these zip files I don't know what it means I can understand some of it just based off the knowledge I do have about android. Wish there was a way I could learn more about coding and stuff like that without it being to much of a hassle for someone to teach me.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
@wilnotdie hey I flashed it and it worked like a charm thanks a lot for all your help forreal dude you've made me a happy android owner. Do u have a paypal or something I wanna give you a few dollars for helpin me. Just pm it to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
Its cool, just glad I could help. If you really need to come to terms with it, you can donate to the redcross to help japan or your favorite charity.

Have fun, and enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowmoses:
Sounds good ill do that then thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] wilnotdie:
Confirmed working on CM6.1.1

Just need the correct binary files. If you want, follow the instructions in my previous post, and flash the marvel zip I posted. That will give you the right binary. Once u have that u can use sounds during boot.

Hey all, I was wondering, anyone have some good pretender files for the call blocker? I would love one that simulates a number has been disconnected or something similar. Get rid of those unwanted calls for good! Heh.
[Android Apps and Games] osvaldoll:
You can try aFirewall. The app has the feature that you are looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] Mysticales:
aFirewall work better then Extreme call blocker?

Btw what about Kaspersky? Seems to have a call blocker too?

Sometimes I am annoyed at ECB cause it sometimes needs to be reset before it starts working again.

Edit: Checked aFirewall seems to do same ECB does, but doesnt have a auto message that makes it like your phone is disconnected or out of service.

Interesting article I just read.

http://www.neowin.net/news/sprint-plans-to-appeal-t-mobile-takeover-by-att
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aridon:
I'm not a huge fan of the merger but I do think in the end it will be better for at&t customers. Probably not so good for tmobile one their plans start getting the phase out. That is probably a long way away though.

As for sprint, they need to worry about their own ship sinking. Sprint won't fail because of this merger they will fail from their own inept management.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
This is going to be a mud slinging battle. I wonder why verizon hasn't said anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Yaken:
ok, well all of those people who are worried about T-mo people losing their plans can chill. I work for at&t, and over the years a lot of cell companies have been purchased by at&t. Every now and then I see an account with a plan that at&t never offered.

at&t isn't going to piss off existing t-mo customers as they will eventually be at&t customers. Also, if things change, you can get out of your contract free of charge.

I personally think that this will be great for at&t, while some t-mo customers may get screwed. Although t-mo was much cheaper, the company was not making money. They were losing money, so it was not a sustainable pricing model.

Hi again hope that this will help....

This list here contains all of the Stock Android Apps, lets you know whether they’re safe to remove or not, and a bit more information about these apps.

http://www.mediafire.com/?alkh5gohmndw6r4

P.S. You can simply use Root Explorer to delete the apps...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pflorin:
nice this would help people i guess
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] barqers:
Very nice. I've been looking for something like this for a while now.

Edit:: Except for the fact that some of those apps you actually can remove. Ie. Gmail.apk if you use k-9.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
Did you make the list?

Also, this list is not from a stock rom :S

why not 2.2?

This list seems pretty subjective. You should define what you mean by safe before asking for other people to get involve since I think opinions will differ on plenty of your "no8"s
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] IonAphis:
gimme a few hours and I'll upload a list... I have mine way way streamlined...

Most of the stuff though, I followed from Insanity's I9000 ROM. I've been meaning to do this, now you've just given me reason..

Will post back in an hour

If you remove Gmail.apk, Google Talk stops working too, so be careful. Also I can't see twlauncher in the list, it should be kept even if you use another launcher. I removed it once, and something started to force close 5-10 times a minute.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu9987:
So i know that if you put a verizon PRL in your sprint phone not uncommon for sprint to terminate your contract for roaming too much. But my question is: do they charge fees for terminating it?

Im 99.9% tempted to switch to a verizon PRL so I can get good coverage until they just terminate me then I can start a contract with verizon with a different phone :P.

I dont know if its my coverage here or what but I have slow 3g, never get 4g, signal drops to 0 for 30 seconds every few minutes, and webpages time out almost always. Kinda over it..

Can someone who knows more than me chime in on how good/bad this idea is?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadit:
I have done it just to see how it is, my only issue and reason for switching back is I could never get text msg's to work even with the option check to retrieve while roaming.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu9987:
I just wanna know if its a clean loophole into getting out of the contract pretty much :P

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husaragi:
yeah i would like to try the same thing lol. i would think that they could only charge you if you "voluntarily" choose to terminate your agreement, but if the wording is in there, they may be able to charge you for any kind of breach that terminates your contract. i am with sprint. ill try browsing the ToS to see if it has any conventions for this. anyone know for sure?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
If it is still on cyanogen then that is why he can't dial the codes from the dialer. This isn't supported on AOSP roms. The only fix is to flash a sense rom and go from there.

Hi guys,

I came from a jailbroken iPhone about a year ago (launch day EVO user) and I always used Veency and iTunnel to remote into my phone when at work so I don't look like a slacker that I am, playing on my phone and all. Well, I finally decided to take some time and find a Android solution to my problem. Since droid vnc server is the only vnc server available for the Android platform (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals). So did some research, first trying iTunnel to forward my TCP port to the USB, connection established but it seems iTunnel was specifically built for iOS. So instead, researched some more and found ADB can provide the functionality of iTunnel. So using UltraVNC viewer, droid VNC server (found on the market), and ADB, here's how I got it to work:

Plug in phone to USB

In command prompt run: adb forward tcp:5801 tcp 5801

Also in command prompt run: adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901

Make sure Droid VNC Server is started on the phone

In UltraVNC viewer, browse to "localhost:5901"

After that, you should be all set. Use the help button in droid VNC server to help you with the input.
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Going to try it out
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
I had to edit my original post. In UltraVNc, its "localhost:5901" not "5801". Sorry!!
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Got it running. But what are you using this for?
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
While I'm at work, using a phone is frowned on. So I can keep my phone out of sight and charging on my USB port while shooting off texts and IMs discreetly :D
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Gotcha
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Okay, so i typed in the first command

and the prompt spit out a list of ADB commands. so i moved on to the next step and ran the next command

and i get: "error: device not found" :confused:

what am i doing wrong?

Edit: The phone is connected by USB btw.

Edit 2: I am able to connect to my phone via the internet VNC connection, just not through the local host.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
Worked for me, was wondering how to do this. Thanks.

I use TightVNC though, and it needed two colons. (ie localhost::5901)

Hmm, I was hoping this would be smoother than over WiFi, but actually the refresh is about the same. Any tips on improving that?
[EVO 4G General] dummycreated:
For iphone?

Thank you so much sir,

can you plese help me how to do the same thing on iphone...please...i will really appreciate you....plz...plz..plz...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esnark:
Is there any way to have ash read a .ashrc or .profile or whatever file automatically upon startup from "adb shell"? Of course I can create such a file, and execute it with "ash -l", but no matter where I put it (I've tried /.profile /.ashrc /etc/profile /etc/.ashrc), it never gets read automatically.

This is on an att captivate running cognition 4.1.1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
you can install bash and make a /etc/profile. Then when you type bash, it will load the .profile. From the terminal, you can create a /sdcard/.profile and then your terminal will take commands from there.

Hi there,

I've bought my HTC Leo 1 week ago and I want to install Android on it. I'm following the steps of this post but it's a little hard if you haven't flash a cell phone ever :P

The thing is that my cell phone has SPL 3.03.0000, but I need HSPL 1,2 or 3, So I need to downgrade the SPL to use the right HSPL.

Does anyone know how to downgrade the SPL? If I understood right I need to flash a new ROM of win mo 6.5 in my cell phone with the right spl, but I don't know where to find it.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EhdisChris:
Search for HSPL2 or HSPL3.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
You actually need HSPL4 AFAIK. Just search for HSPL4 then download etc. Then go in to bootloader and run the .exe found in the file you've downloaded. Click through the steps and you'll get to a screen with a drop down menu, choose 2.08.HSPL from the menu. Then just click next and it'll flash. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dami_rz:
then I need HSPL4. I just saw this post and it says "Android / WP7 / MAGLDR don't support HSPL3.03/OSPL3.03. You need HSPL2.08 to run Android / WP7 / MAGLDR." So, among all the HSPL releases, the only one that doesn't work is the 3.03? If that's right the HSPL4 should work, I'll give it a try :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dami_rz:
Oh, I just see this post and it says "You must have hspl 2 or 3 for android to run well please use HSPL GUIDE" . Is there any problem with HSPL4 of the guide is old?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
It won't matter. All HSPL4 does is flash 2.08.HSPL to bootloaders that have SPL 3 and up as the older versions are compatible with older SPL's (bootloader).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dami_rz:
Well, I have another problem now :P

I'm following this steps to put HSPL4:

2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable

3. Run HSPL4.exe from your pc and read all the text carefully

4. When finished reading click next in the HardSPL program

I connect my phone to the PC, and the Windows Mobile center pops out, but when I go to the ActiveSync on my phone it says that I should install the ActiveSync software in my pc (I don't know why but I can't install ActiveSync on my pc, it says that my software is uncompatible (Windows 7, 64 bit), I read that WMDC is used in W7 instead of ActiveSync). So I executed the HSPL4 (phone conected) and wait 5 minutes, and it didn't find the USB conection of my phone with my pc :/

Anyone had this problem or know any alternative? :/

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dami_rz:
Done, I use the "NOTE: You can also install HARDSPL by entering Bootloader mode manually, then running the HSPL4.exe program once you see 'USB' at the bottom of the tri-colour screen.". I didn't saw it :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Haha I was just about to say that. It's actually better if you run it straight from HSPL.

So are you all flashed now or what? :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dami_rz:
I just flashed it and now I have to install the Radio, but I have the same problem :P (in the steps it says that I need to be connected by activeSync)

I think I will try again from the Bootloader mode manually, what do you say? :P

Edit: In this post says that the radio have to be installed before the rom, but in this one it says the opposite.

(I'm a little lost :P )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Install everything from the bootloader. :) They;ll all flash correctly from there.

Install the radio before the ROM. Make sure you flash 2.15.50.14 then flash MAGLDR and flash away! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dami_rz:
mm, I downloaded the radio 2.15.50.14 but when I execute the CustomRUU and the phone is conected in Bootloader mode it doesn't recognize the phone :S

I can't figure out any solution... what a thing...

PD: Now it shows SPL-3.03.HSP in the bootloader screen, so that's ok :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Actually no that's the reason why its not okay. You flashed the wrong HSPL. Just go back to bootloader, open up HSPL4 and when you get to a drop down menu chose 2.08.HSPL from the menu. That's the one you need. Flash that, then reflash the radio and it will flash properly. ;)
